Good picture and backround circleish-light but I think you'll get a few less marks because the crop at the bottom is a little tight.

I wish the crop wasn't so tight at the bottom but this a great capture which fits the theme very well indeed.

I like your concept of the old and new. The color and focus is spot on. Personally, I don't care a lot for your choice of compostion, I don't think this should have been off-center - I tried moving it on my screen and found the image in portrait with the negative space to the left removed, to be much more pleasing. Also, I think there should have been some more room at the bottom as the lowest grape looks crowded. Still, a good try - 7

Did you speed up the ripening process on the top grapes, or is there some other photographic trick here? Very creative...

looks like all the juice drained down and into the ones on the bottom grapes. Nice shot and use of neg. space. Good luck
